The Family History of Bowel Cancer Registry was founded in 2010. It has been a useful resource for hereditary and non-hereditary colorectal cancer research conducted at West Middlesex University Hospital. Our clinicians and researchers have utilised the information our registry provides for research on the causes of colorectal cancer. It helps to link our patients with their screening and surveillance programmes, and also in to local and national research projects such as the Cancer Research UK study CORGI (COloRectal Gene Identification Study). The registry also provides services to families, community health professionals, and the general public, including educational materials and programs on hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, cancer genetics, and current research.

How do you get to have an appointment at your clinic ? Having had bowel cancer myself twice at the ages of 36 and 38 I insisted my son now 31 go to his Dr and request a colonoscopy . Not only was he not helped he was given no advice either ! My own GP just told me to tell him to go to a family history clinic but didn’t know where there was one !! I find this total lack of interest within the GP system extremely disturbing as I know early detection and screening are imperative in catching this disease early . Please help us –
